Instructions for draining water from the boiler
Attention: For machines with a small capacity boiler (less than 5 litres) it is recommended to change the water frequently. Remove one litre of water every day,
taking it from the hot water tap.
Open the tap located under the boiler and wait until the boiler is completely empty. Then close the tap again.

nstructions for regenerating the softener
The instructions given below should be followed to regenerate the softener:
1) Put a container with a capacity of at least 2 litres under pipe E. Move levers C and D from left to right.
2) Remove the lid by unscrewing knob G and put salt (normal kitchen salt) into the softener (fig. 5): 1 kg. for the 8-litre softener and 2 kg. for the 12-litre softener.
Then refit lid and move tap lever C from right to left (fig. 6) so that the salty water can flow through pipe F. When the water is pure, reset lever D from right
to left (fig. 7).
Important:
Regeneration must be done every 15 days for a daily coffee consumption of betwee 1 and 2 kg. If consumption is greater than this, regeneration should be
done every 7 days.
Attention:
It is very important to regenerate the softener. Failure to regenerate the resins in the softener causes calcification in the boiler, the solenoid valves and the
hydraulic circuit. These deposits have a negative influence on the machine’s performance and reliability and can even cause serious damage, which will lead
to the intervention of the assistance service for cleaning the boiler. This type of intervention is not covered by guarantee and therefore the relative costs are
the responsibility of the owner of the machine.
